It also costs an arm and a leg,Īnd there is virtually no used market for it. The FX-N does not look near as cool as the original FX, in my opinion, but the close focus capability can be a plus. It also loses the Bay III bayonet, you get a Bay IV instead, for which accessories might be more expensive and more difficult to find.įor trademark licensing reasons the lens is not called Planar anymore, but in my understanding it is virtually the same lens. It has the great advantage of focusing closer than all other Rolleiflexes. Note that in the recent years Franke & Heidecke made a newer version of the FX called FX-N. You can reuse your 2.8F accessories with the FX, by the way. The FX is my first Rollei (bought new in 2006)Īnd the last camera I will ever sell. I have been toying with the idea of replacing my 2.8E by a second FX myself. Basically it uses levers to magnify small differences and a trigger mechanism to release spring forces to engage the full counter mechanism.Ĭlick to expand.Do it, if you can find one at reasonable price. Well, more could be said, but it would take too long. The 'clunk' you hear and feel is this action. Then, put simply, the wind mechanism is engaged and the whole game starts. When the film goes from plain paper to tape/film, the lever motion will cause the hook to move down (to the right in photo) and release. See how the hook is half-way down the end of the flat bar? This is adjustable, the amount of offset of the hook, hence the sensitivity of the Automat mechanism. A couple of parts below, mostly hidden by the light shield, transfer motion from the lower roller to this trigger part. But at the top center, you'll see a dog-legged part with a hook at the top end that is resting on the end of a flat bar-shaped piece. I won't explain everything going on here. Using levers, you can take very small changes and translate them to larger changes.
